Chapter 93: Jiang Zhongyuan and Zeng Guofan

These scholars can only talk clichés, and Li Yunzhong has answered this question countless times: "This is a bad thing. The Qing Dynasty has established a country for more than two hundred years, with serious land annexation, people are displaced, they are not covered in clothes, and they are not filled with food, and selling children and daughters often. Even if foreigners do not invade, it is time for dynasties to change dynasties. The world is a great deal. Those who follow it will prosper and rebellion will perish. Everyone is a talent. Can't you understand?"

Wu Changqing kept silent, and Liu Bingzhang went into battle: "No, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were the heroes of the Emperor Kangxi, the ancestor Kangxi, the ancestor Yongzheng, and the emperor Qianlong of the Emperor Qianlong of the Emperor founded the Kanggan prosperous era for more than 100 years. This is unique in history. Although the former emperor Daoguang was not as good as the previous ones, he was still a wise king. The emperor is more diligent in state affairs and wise and decisive. These all prove that the Qing Dynasty can last forever. How can we say that the dynasty can be changed? If it is a foolish monarch like the Ming Dynasty, we will follow His Highness to create a peaceful world without the advice of His Highness."

It seems that these people are stupid to read! It seems that their ancestor Confucius has to deal with them. Li Yunzhong said: "Confucius said: It is better to have a king than to fall from Xia. Manchus are always barbarians, not from my true Chinese origins. They tried every means to limit our Han freedom and enslave the spirit of Han people, like literary inquisitions, braids and disguises... Nothing is not to cut off our Han inheritance? In the long run, who knows what their ancestors look like! They always say that Manchu and Han family are all trusted, but who is trusted by the Emperors of the Qing Dynasty is ultimately the ministers of the Manchu tribe.

The person I admire most is Lin Zexu. Unfortunately, he was exiled to Xinjiang by Daoguang's son and abandoned him. The military minister Wang Ding was even humiliated and committed suicide because of this. This is your example!"

Li Hongzhang was angrily scolding Li Yunzhong for spreading rumors, and suddenly reacted and said with a smile: "These are rumors, just folk rumors. It is really an accident that Lord Wang Ding died suddenly at home. As for the Qing emperor's trust in Manchus, this is also a common sense. As long as he is a minister, he will always be loyal, one day he will change the emperor's view, and the Manchus and Han are truly integrated into a family."

"I'm afraid I don't believe it myself. The foreigners are strong. But after a little lesson, Daoguang hurriedly paid compensation from all over the country and apologized to the foreigners. The people were dissatisfied with life and killed officials to rebel. He ordered officials to massacre and suppress them. This was clearly a practice of preferring friendly countries to give them slaves! He regarded thousands of us Han people as slaves. Li Yunzhong, I, Li Yunzhong, did not want to be slaves, and thousands of people in the Han Dynasty would not want to be slaves anymore, so he followed me to build a real Han power." Li Yunzhong was a little disappointed. It seemed that he could not convince them with words alone, and he would take them to the Han territory to feel it.

Li Hongzhang was also confused and was unwilling to admit defeat and could only make a fuss. This was difficult to convince the thief than to pass the Jinshi exam. It seemed that Li Yunzhong had decided to surrender me. This was my opportunity. I must think carefully before I could answer. I would give up now if I was hasty today.

Under Hukou City

Zeng Guofan found that he had made a big mistake. He attacked Hukou before he conquered Jiujiang. The Hunan Army was threatened by short-haired at all times. Since Hu Linyi, who besieged Jiujiang, retreated to Ruichang County, this danger has become more and more urgent. He had to leave half of his troops to defend Jiangzhou Town to prevent the rebels from suddenly coming from behind.

"Report to the Grand Marshal and Jiang Governor Jiang, please see him."

"Please!" Zeng Guofan put down the map, not understanding why Jiang Zhongyuan left Nanchang City.

"Sir, I haven't seen you for five years since I left the capital. The student is so ashamed." As soon as Jiang Zhongyuan entered the tent, he showed his rituals as his younger generation. When he was traveling in the capital, he once worshipped Zeng Guofan as his teacher and was guided by him, so he called him Mr.

Zeng Guofan comforted: "When you were in Guangxi and Hunan to suppress the thieves, I was still an official in the capital. When I went to Hunan to train troops, you had already gone to Hubei and Jiangxi to suppress the thieves. It's not your fault, you are all serving the country and sharing the worries for the emperor. By the way, why did you come here? Could it be that Nanchang City has already..."

Seeing that the teacher misunderstood, Jiang Zhongyuan quickly put away his thoughts of reminiscing and explained: "A few days ago, I received the imperial edict. The emperor has changed his order to become the governor of Anhui and asked me to take office immediately."

Zeng Guofan was both happy and disappointed. What was happy was that his student officials were bigger than him, proving that he had read the wrong person. What was disappointing was that since Jiang Zhongyuan, who was far away in Nanchang, had received the imperial edict, there was no news here, proving that he had not been appointed as the governor of Jiangxi.

Seeing the teacher's face strange, Jiang Zhongyuan comforted him: "The new governor of Jiangxi is an old acquaintance, Lord Chen Chimai, he is from Hunan like us, and he will cooperate with the teacher to suppress the thieves."

Zeng Guofan put away his thoughts of mixed feelings in his heart and warned Jiang Zhongyuan: "Anhui is not as powerful as Jiangxi. There is no power in the Hunan Army there, and you are alone. It is necessary that you cannot open the situation at the beginning. Don't be impatient. In addition, the Qing Green Camp soldiers have [***] completely. They cannot save Anhui. I heard that Lord Lu, the Minister of Rites, has set up thousands of village warriors in Lu'an. You can discuss it with him."

"Yes, the students understand, sir should be alert, Jiangxi short hair has become a climate. When I came, I found that the short hair was gathering towards Poyang County. sir, sir, be careful. I suspect that their target is not Nanchang, but the Hunan Army." Jiang Zhongyuan remembered this news before leaving and told Zeng Guofan.

"What! Jiangxi's short hair is also coming towards the Hunan Army! What should I do? Yesterday I received the news that the short hair army in Anhui has gathered in Anqing, and the vanguard has arrived in Pengze County. I thought they were just a normal mobilization, but I didn't expect that they had planned it and came for the Hunan Army!" Zeng Guofan had an ominous premonition that the Hunan Army was already in danger.

Jiang Zhongyuan also felt that something was wrong and advised: "Sir, please retreat temporarily and return to Hubei. You can avoid the edge of short hair and re-engine the Hunan Army. At that time, you can compete with short hair when you go east."

Zeng Guofan shook his head and said, "No, if I return to Hubei, wouldn't it harm you and Lord Chen? Short-haired and unscrupulous, he would definitely attack Nanchang and Anhui with all his strength. Besides, the emperor ordered me to go east to Jiangxi to suppress the thieves. If I escaped back to Hubei before this battle, wouldn't the people in the world laugh at me for adding someone?"

Jiang Zhongyuan was so moved that he said, "Sir, great kindness, students will never forget it. They wanted to serve the teacher next to them, but the king has the will. The students can only be loyal first and then filial, and the students will say goodbye."
